Breaking News: Hilary Duff is writing a book! It's titled "Elixir" and is said to come out on October 12th 2010.

I think the best part about that is that it really goes to show how well celebrities have it. I mean, if they weren't already famous they probably wouldn't be able to do as much as they do. Just think, Hilary has had her own clothing and home line, starred in her very own TV show, had 10 movies (at least three well-reviewed), released five CD's, and has her own perfume brand. As far as I'm concerned, she's way too young to have any of this. But she's done well for herself being only 23 years old. Now all she has to do is direct her own movie and get convicted and she'll have done just about everything it takes to be any kind of celebrity. That, and she's now getting married to an Edmonton hockey player. Needless to say, the girl's done well for herself. Unfortunately, many parallels can be made between her and Justin Bieber. He's got two CD's, his own clothing line, will be starring in a movie, and is claiming he will write his own memoirs. Being only 16, he's not far behind Hilary. The dilema here is that the people that grew up with Hilary Duff are now too old for Justin Bieber. And the people who are growing up with Justin Bieber and too young for Hilary Duff. So, we can come to the conclusion that they serve essentially the same purpose for the consecutive generations. They are great for twelve year old fan girls, but after that they don't serve much purpose. At the point when their twelve year old fangirls are no longer twelve years old and have moved on, they find some other kind of celebrity status to fulfill - so they come out with books and clothes lines. Quite smart when you think about it, attempting to appeal to the masses. However, the only flaw in their plan is that they still have the air of "twelve year old fangirl type" which they will never fully loose. Good for them for trying, though. I wouldn't want that label stuck to me forever either.
